I’m doing my best to make these pants look good in the photos, but they are soft and saggy in reality. They fit well, freshly laundered, when I first put them on, but soon lose their shape. By the end of the day, only the lower leg remains unstretched. The knees, thighs, seat, and waist sag badly. While the pants are comfortable, I suspect they’re awfully unflattering!

Still, a small part of me wonders if I’m wrong. Is the loose, baggy-except-for-the-calves look good?

Soft is good, saggy not so.From the pictures I can´t really tell they are saggy, they look good :)If you want the fabric to be a little more stiff and hard try hanging them to air dry - then again you can always take them in. With pastels being so IN right now, I'd keem them around.

I had a pair like that that I LOVED but I hated the saggy baggy after a few hours. What I ended up doing was ironing a couple patches on the inside where it would stretch, like the knees and underbutt on the inside where you couldn't see them. Works like a charm! I figured before I tried it if it didn't work I could still donate them without the look of the pants being changed.

Keep em, BUT....I've had the same problem in reverse!I'd stitch a seam from the inner knee to the crotch area to make them hug better, then if they still bag, undo the seam and put them on their merry way ;)I know your frustration.But in reverse, that is......xXxReva

I like the outfit, but I voted "go". I just think that if you've given them a solid chance and you still kinda don't like them, no reason to keep hanging on. They look fine, just not as fabulous as some of your other pants! For me the most appealing thing about them is their color, which I really do love.

Personally, I think they're great - I love all the different ways you've styled them! But if they are not for you, they're not for you. Someone else will probably love them more and there are enough problems in the world without bad-fitting clothing!

I think they're cute. But I know what you mean about just not "feeling" it. Sometimes I'll wear one of those on-the-fence items one more time just to see, and by the time I get home I'm sure of their fate.
